WEDNESDAY I ATE

Breakfast: Grapenuts with cranberry juice

Morning Snack: Ritz crackers and red cheese

Lunch: Burrito from Qdoba. Free guac is a great deal.

Dinner:  Chicken, bacon, brie and apple sandwich from Cask & Schooner. Really nice to be back in Friday Harbor to go to some of our very favorite places.

Dessert: Ice cream from the red ice cream place in Friday Harbor. Actually not a favorite place. They have such a fabulous location, right on the water, that it just breaks my heart they sell really crappy ice cream. Nothing bad, just lots of standard stuff from big dairies without much flavor. I much prefer to go across the street where the serve ice cream from a local creamery… fewer flavor choices, but better ice cream.

MONDAY I ATE

Breakfast: Grapenuts with cranberry juice

Lunch: Leftover Corn and Tomato Risotto

Afternoon snack:  Just a little bit of candy. Coke Zero.

Dinner:  Pizza and salad at a friend’s house. I confess, I like gourmet pizza with interesting stuff on it, but sometimes I also like to steal a slice of pepperoni from the kids’ box.

SATURDAY I ATE

Breakfast: Waffles (from The King Arthur Flour Baker’s Companion). Just to clarify, when a recipe says “tsp” that means teaspoon, not the big one… um, and in case you’ve ever wondered, tripling the baking powder and baking soda in a batch of waffles make the dough look like there are hagfish fighting in the bowl. Surprisingly, they didn’t run all over the waffle iron, but they were pretty flabby.

Morning Snack: Apples with peanut butter

Lunch: Sandwiches (leftover chicken)

Afternoon snack:  Chips and Salsa

Dinner:  Yuki Kato’s famous secret flank steak.

Dessert: Mocha Tart. Props to Suzanne for taking it in stride when the tart slid off the seat in transit and got a big divot in it.
